How Rabies Vaccines Save Lives in the Philippines

July 14, 2025 | Dok Dean

Rabies vaccines are life-saving interventions that protect against a disease with a 100% fatality rate once symptoms appear.

In the Philippines:

Rabies remains endemic in many provinces
DOH and LGUs conduct annual vaccination drives for dogs and provide free or subsidized vaccines for bite patients
Access to genuine vaccines is crucial to prevent deaths


How do vaccines work?

Rabies vaccines stimulate the body to produce antibodies that fight the virus before it reaches the brain. This is why immediate vaccination after exposure is critical.
